Netroots Voter Registration Drive

Submitted by R. Neal on Tue, 2008/09/09 - 11:00am.

At the suggestion of Knox County Administrator of Elections Greg Mackay and the urging of Bill Young, let's start a state-wide viral marketing netroots voter registration drive.

The deadline for registering to vote in the Nov. 4th election is October 6th.

The easiest way to register is:

1. Print out this form.
2. Fill it out.
3. Mail it in.

The above form works for any county in Tennessee. The county election commission offices, addresses, and phone numbers are listed on the back. It must be postmarked no later than 10/6/08.

If you have friends, family, co-workers, etc. who need to register, print out copies of the form for them, help them fill it out, and make sure they mail it in no later than October 6th.

You can also print out multiple copies of this form and use it for voter registration drives.

If you are outside Tennessee, this form works for any state in the U.S.

Here is a page with information for overseas and military voters.

Here is a comprehensive directory of all U.S. state and local election officials.

Here is the U.S. Election Assistance Commission Voter Information Center page.

REGISTER. VOTE. REGISTER OTHERS.

Help spread the word. Here is a zip archive of the netroots voter registration drive button, HTML to display the button on your blog/website with a link to this page (or modify the link to point to your own page), and the HTML text of this page for posting on your own blog or web site. Post it, forward it, promote it.
